YouTube gardening channels make gardening look easy. There is no shortage of perfect, organized gardens full of vibrant colors showcased in stunning 4K resolution on this platform. Here is the reality: gardening is hard. YouTuber's gardens look great, because we control what we show. We can choose to point the camera at the most beautiful things while hiding the mistakes and failures. The truth is, I failed my garden in 2025. And, I failed my garden in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020…

Today, I bear all the warts. This is everything I've failed at so far in 2025, whether it was my fault or out of my control. Why am I sharing this? Because I don't want you to think you have to be perfect to garden. I don't want you to fear failure. In fact, failure isn't even bad. It's the best way to learn, and there is nothing better than failing at something, picking ourselves back up, figuring out what went wrong, trying again and getting it right the second time. That is the sweetest reward of all. Even the best gardeners have things go wrong every year, myself included, and I am far from the best gardener. Come join me on my 2025 garden tour of failures! Remember, you only fail if you quit.
